Roanoke Ronald McDonald House Gets a Popping Donation

Elementary School Kids Donate Soda Tabs to Roanoke Ronald McDonald House

They say that Virginia is for lovers, and for the town of Covington, Va. a few children turned their incredible love of soda into a philanthropic act for their local Ronald McDonald House. Due to COVID-19 though, this yearly donation was delayed from May until November, allowing for even more collection time.

Students at Covington's Edgemont Primary School, as well as at Jeter Watson and Patty's Dance Studio, collected 850 pounds of soda can tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House location in nearby Roanoke, Va.

Valued at between 40 and 50 cents apiece, this amassing of tabs totals up to $6,000. This donation will go towards not only operating expenses for the Roanoke Ronald McDonald House, but also upkeep and potential future expansion.
